1. CASUALTIES ARMY

Casualties Army!
Casualties Army! (x2)
Casualties Army!
Casualties Army!


2. ON THE FRONT LINE

Coming from the ghetto there's no future for the poor
Where the cops don't care if a bullet hits a bone
Where's there's unemployment and no work for you and me
A youth culture will rise to fight you all!

On the front line (x4)

This is my town not a pretty place to be
Where a kid's life is lost taking him into drugs
See him fucking drown each day more and more
Rebel youth wake up and hear the call

On the front line (x4)

These boots i wear are strong and they are for work
For the dead end jobs with no future or any hope
I've been victimized and oppressed for too long
Generation of scars hear the fucking call

On the front line (x4)

Casualties army new breed of today
Generation of scars will fucking have their say
Rejected and unwanted by the system
-Casualties army rebel youth take a stand

We were taught to be hard to survive in this world
If you dont like my ways then fuck you all
This is a call to the rebels of today
To unite be counted and fucking be heard

On the front line (x4)


3. LEADERS OF TODAY

Now are you doing - brainwashed,ignorant,and deceived
Beautiful words I will tell you on tv
I will lie to the poor and give to the rich
Smells like money in the land of the free

We are the leaders - Leaders of today
The ones who steal your money
And the land you're living on

Inflation and corruption, all will come to an end
Put me in power casue I'm savior man
I will privatize the culture that you have
By cutting off your benefits and all your social help

We are the leaders - Leaders of today
The ones who steal your money
And the land you're living on

I represent the oil and wealthy men
Don't care bout you cause you're just a lamb
If you don't make a million,better say you're prayers
Businessmen and bankers will multiply their wealth

We are the leaders - Leaders of today
The ones who steal your money
And the land you're living on

Here's a lesson you should have learned
I control your schools to keep you unaware
This Democracy is ruled by the man
The only change is the makeup that we wear

We are the leaders - Leaders of today
The ones who steal your money
And the land you're living on

I have the power, I will make you gorget
The days of Mccarthy and the Red fucking Scare
Now about Nixon and the watergate scam,
Now it's my turn to not fucking care


4. CRIMINAL CLASS

Criminal Class - What you make me out to be
Criminal Class - The jails you build for me

On the streets getting picked up for a crime
For being different I am guilty from the start
Fighting back seems a senseless thing to do
Working men now you're fucking behind bars

Criminal Class - What you make me out to be
Criminal Class - The jails you build for me

On the streets we are getting organized
Fight the system and their fucking corruption
Fight the law and there's no fucking turning back
The boys are back and they're back to take a stand

Criminal Class - What you make me out to be
Criminal Class - The jails you build for me

On the streets law and order there is none
The boys in blue can arrest anyone
Control the streets like a mafia rules the town
Protect and serve only when they do the crime

Criminal Class - What you make me out to be
Criminal Class - The jails you build for me

Judges make sure you don't really have a chance
Making bails only the wealthy can afford
Creating cells all over across this fucking land
Where the rich won't go in and the poor won't come out

Criminal Class - What you make me out to be
Criminal Class - The jails you build for me
Criminal Class
Criminal Class - What you make me out to be
Criminal Class - The jails you build for me


5. TOMORROW BELONGS TO US

What do you think your country needs
When she calls on the youth of today
It means she wants you to fight for her
A reason to blow us away
You may think we are the important ones
New faces to run this place
Our leaders don't think we're worth too much
The fact of the matter is...

Tomorrow belongs to us

What do you think your leaders mean
Destroying the world of today
It means that they don't really give a damn
All they care about is their greed
Spending money on bombs and guns
More than on the human race
But who are the ones that will have to pay
Disease and starvation they create

Tomorrow belongs to us

Turn on the TV and the news says
America is doing okay
OK for the doctors and lawyers
City officials and our president
Someone forgot to take a survey
Of the real working men
The ones on the unemployment line
Getting laid off in every state

Tomorrow belongs to us

What do you think they'll leave to us
A waste land of death and decay
It seems that tomorrow is looking gray
No future for the youth of today
If you think thy give a damn
Better wake up from your dream
They leave us a world of famine
The fact of the matter is...

Tomorrow belongs to us


6. UNKNOWN SOLDIER

Joe is out of school, didn't fucking ask for much
Couldn't get a job, the marines his last hope
Down at the frontline, with a gun not a toy
Kill many men, not asking what for

Oh oh oh

Joe's family, the comrades next to him
Die one by one, his luck is running out
Joe wrote back home, his parents unemployed
The rich is fucking laughing, profits from the war

Oh oh oh

Joe is off to die, for another senseless war
No arms, no legs - his mother cries at home
Joey wears the flag, so proud to fight for us
And for the government, that doesn't give a fuck

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Joe is off to die, for another senseless war
No arms, no legs - his mother cries at home
Joey wears the flag, so proud to fight for us
And for the government, that doesn't give a fuck

Marching to the left, marching to the right
Marching on the frontline, what a fucking sight
Marching to the left, marching to the right
Marching on the frontline, what a way to die

Joey, Joey, Joey tell me what you see now
Joey, Joey, Joey Please come back home now

Marching to the left, marching to the right
Marching on the frontline, what a fucking sight
Marching to the left, marching to the right
Marching on the frontline, what a way to die


7. SCARRED FOR LIFE

You got your junk - wasting away
You couldn't care less - a dying friend
You really look sick - the needle is deep
You'll never give it up - tell me for what

Scarred for life, scarred for life
You don't give a damn so fuck you too

On the street - wasting away
Begging for money - a dying friend
Selling your body - you heroin addict
No hope, no dreams - nothing but lies

Scarred for life, scarred for life
You don't give a damn so fuck you too

You need a fix - don't look at me
You need a hand - not again
You two-time scum - now you're a bum
Your way of anarchy - ain't for me

Scarred for life, scarred for life
You don't give a damn so fuck you too


8. STATIC FEEDBACK AND NOISE

Sick sick sick - of the music of today
Sick sick sick - we need a fucking change
Sick sick sick - their groups are such a waste
Sick sick sick - I need anger in my brain

Listen to the sound of the poets of today
All on tour, right clothes, no heart and soul
The ones on top don't care about you
The ones on the bottom, they'll use you to get rich

You - star on TV, you're fucking hell to me
You - in the underground, your head got too big
You - two of a kind what a fucking waste of time
Raise my finger in the air,I'll show you how
It's done

Noise - Give me static and feedback

Sick sick sick - of the music of today
Sick sick sick - we need a fucking change
Sick sick - their groups are such a waste
Sick sick sick - I need anger in my brain

Listen to the sound of the poets of today
All on tour, right clothes, no heart and soul
The ones on top don't care about you
The ones on the bottom, they'll use you to get rich

You - star on tv, you're fucking hell to me
You - in the underground, your head got too big
You - two of a kind what a fucking waste of time
Raise my finger in the air,I'll show you how
It's done

Noise - Give me static and feedback

Bring back the old days of The Ramones
Bring back those fast two minute songs
Give me that two fingers in the air
Cause punk is back and is back to stay

You - The rebels with the fucking ripped up clothes
You - can't follow any leader or any cause
You - that shouts and sweats at every show
Raise your finger in the air and show them how
It's done


9. MEDIA CONTROL

Their ink - is the blood they inject
On my brain - spreading lies on us
I'm next victim in line

No more - no more - no more
Media control

Reports - feeds off the war of man
Dishonest - they're part of a system
Controlled by the man
The Press - For the blinded mice
Controls - what you eat or wear
What's in and what is out

No more - no more - no more
Media control

Devil in disguise - is the ABC
Fuck The CNN - Lying NBC
Fox and CBC - UPI and BBC
USA Today - The real 666


10. DEATH TOLL

In God they believe - hate and war
A crusade of men
Killing is wrong - hate and war
For the church it's ok

Death toll - on the rise
No one cares, no one cares

Shot and beaten is the way of man
Torture and knifed - who will be next?
Worked to death by the ones you respect
Hate and death and war

Attack on democracy - hate and war
It's an invasion
We take a country - hate and war
It's liberation

Death toll - on the rise
No one cares, no one cares

Shot and beaten is the way of man
Torture and knifed - who will be next?
Worked to death by the ones you respect
Hate and death and war

Buried alive - hate and war
Burned and hanged
Bombed and starved - hate and war
Dead and unarmed

Death toll - on the rise
No one cares, no one cares

Shot and beaten is the way of man
Another holocaust - Tears of sorrow
Drop two bombs, cheers of horror
Hate and death and war

Death toll - on the rise
No one cares, no one cares


11. TRAGEDY

You got your life cut short
No chance for what you wanted to do
It's cause you're marked for death
Didn't know you were born to lose

You didn't see it coming
You couldn't see it coming
You couldn't start running
You should have started running

Born to lose - born to die too soon
Born to lose - life cut short
The devils looking for you
Born to lose - born to die too soon
Born to lose - life cut short
The devils looking for you

Punk rock tragedy - oh oh

You live your life too fast
Doing too many drugs and booze
You didn't think you'd die
But now you die too soon
You got your life cut short
No chance for what you wanted to do
It's cause you're marked for death
Didn't know you were born to lose

What you gonna do
Your end had come too soon
With music in your heart
You exploded from the start
The future is looking up
Now all that's left is dust
What are we gonna do
Your end had come to fucking soon


12. BRAINWASHED

You're now in detention
You couldn't pay attendtion
Be a good man
Kissing ass is the way

Brainwashed, brainwashed
Respect the tie and suit
Brainwashed, brainwashed
Respect the man in blue
Brainwashed, brainwashed
They are better than you
Brainwashed, brainwashed

They took your music books
You got a football to be cool
Respect the teacher he knows best
Be a robot like the rest

Brainwashed, brainwashed
Respect the tie and suit
Brainwashed, brainwashed
Respect the man in blue
Brainwashed, brainwashed
They are better than you
Brainwashed, brainwashed

Work to get your pay
Buying makes you a better man
Produce a generation of slaves
The system never really cared

Brainwashed, brainwashed
Respect the tie and suit
Brainwashed, brainwashed
Respect the man in blue
Brainwashed, brainwashed
They are better than you
Brainwashed, brainwashed

Brainwashed from the start
Brainwashing the youth
They control your brain
Keep you from the truth


13. SOUNDS FROM THE STREETS

Sound from the streets - sound from the slums
We are from a broken home
Noise from the streets - noise from the slums
We ain't got no nice clothes
Guitars from the streets - guitars from the slums
The way I talk ain't polite
Voice from the streets - voice from the slums
I'm spreading Rebellious songs

Guitars full of hate - making noise
Boots full of dirt - working hard
Beers to forget - the hard times
Noise from the street - let me out

Sound from the streets - sound from the slums
Unemployment hits my town
Noise from the streets - noise from the slums
See the homeless all around
Guitars from the streets - guitars from the slums
Need to get out to stay alive
Voice from the streets - voice from the slums
I'm spreading Rebellious songs

Guitars full of hate - making noise
Boots full of dirt - working hard
Beers to forget - the hard times
Noise from the street - let me out

This is the voice of our streets
The ones you don't see on tv
This is the noise of the real working class
The ones you don't read about in your magazines

Sound from the streets - sound from the slums
Robbing and stabbing in my town
Noise from the streets - noise from the slums
Crime and poverty all around
Guitars from the streets - guitars from the slums
This Punk Music Keeps Me Alive
Voice from the streets - voice from the slums
I'm spreading Rebellious songs

Guitars full of hate - making noise
Boots full of dirt - working hard
Beers to forget - the hard times
Noise from the street - let me out...Let Me Out


14. WE DON'T NEED YOU

You promise me a future, you promise me hope
You came with open arms, I've seen it before
Your said all the right words, trying to take control
Now you're my friend, only when the cash flows

Our life, our minds - we don't need you
Who'll be the first one to go
Our life, our minds - we don't need you
When the days of punk are gone

You're a businessman, selling the music that I love
But I'm using you, by spreading my words
I've got nothing to hide, I'll say it to your face
You think you control me, you got it wrong

Our life, our minds - we don't need you
Who'll be the first one to go
Our life, our minds - we don't need you
When the days of punk are gone

I'll still be standing here when you're gone
With the same friends from long time ago
Only a blind man won't see through you
You need me - I don't need you

Our life, our minds - we don't need you
who'll be the first one to go
Our life, our minds - we don't need you
when the days of punk are gone

You promise me a future, you promise me hope
You came with open arms, I've seen it before
Your said all the right words, trying to take control
Now you're my friend, only when the cash flows

I'll still be standing here when you're gone
With the same friends from long time ago
Only a blind man won't see through you
You need me - I don't need you

...It's my life, you don't control
